Disappearing category thumbnail from gallery page

jeprinz

Hello,

I'm trying to create a custom name for my categories. Whenever I do so, the thumbnail disappears from under the "Gallery Categories" on my galleries page. It's visible on my homepage under the "Gallery Categories". Also, it seems to only be a problem with a newly named category. If I use a smugmug default category, the thumbnail will be visible on both pages. For example, if I want the category to be named "Portraiture" it will disappear, but if it's named "Portraits" or "Animals" or anything in the dropdown menu for Categories it is still visible.

Any idea why this might be the case or what I might have done wrong?

Thanks,
Jeff

Only categories that actually contain a gallery will show on your homepage. If you create a new category called Portraiture and assign a gallery to it, it should show on your homepage.

Thanks for your response.

There were galleries in the categories. I put 3 public ones and 1 unlisted one. The thumbnail still didn't show up. I put the same galleries into one of the default categories and they didn't disappear. That's why I'm perplexed.

We can only help if we can actually look at your site when the desired category exists and you can tell us exactly what the category name is and the category pretty name (what URL it goes by).

Ok. If I understand correctly you mean the newly named category?

Here is one.

Category: Family Portraits
http://www.prinzandthepauper.com/FamilyPortraits

versus the default one

Category: Family
http://www.prinzandthepauper.com/Family

both appear on my homepage (in owner view not visitor view), but the Family Portraits page is missing on my galleries page.

Hopefully, that is enough information for helping me figure this out.

Very much appreciate your help,

Perhaps you are hiding them in your CSS with this?

.galleries .thumbnail_Weddings {display:none;}
.galleries .thumbnail_Senior_Portraits {display:none;}
.galleries .thumbnail_Painting_Faces {display:none;}
.galleries .thumbnail_Family_Portraits {display:none;}

Yeah. That seems to be the problem. I had only tried with those 4 categories to match up with a different page. Feeling a bit dumb, but I can live with that.

Thanks for all your help.
